    Turkey can support only Karabakh deal approved by Azerbaijan - envoy

    "Turkey wants good neighbourly relations with Armenia", Turkey's
    Ambassador to Azerbaijan, Turan Morali, said on Tuesday 1 February .

    Morali, who visited Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic, told a press
    conference that problems between Turkey and Armenia stemmed from
    policies of the current regime (in Armenia) and behaviour of the
    Armenian diaspora, and said that good-neighbourly relations could be
    established between two countries in case these problems were
    solved. "If a friendship and good relationship is to be established,
    this should include all the parties. And, this can be achieved by
    finding a solution to the controversy between Azerbaijan and Armenia
    (Nagornyy Karabakh region of Azerbaijan is under Armenian occupation)
    in line with the international laws and in a way acceptable to
    Azerbaijan," said Morali. He noted that Turkey was ready to contribute
    to efforts serving this goal.

    Morali stressed that Turkey would only back a solution accepted by
    Azerbaijan and said: "Turkey can't accept anything other than this."
    "Establishing good relations with its neighbours, ending its
    occupation of Azerbaijani territories and giving up its baseless
    claims against Turkey would be in the best interests of Armenia",
    Morali stated.

    Morali said that Turkey had always supported Nakhichevan's efforts to
    stand on its own feet, and wanted to further improve its relations
    with Nakhichevan.
